According to the story, Io was a mortal lover of the god Zeus, who turned her into a beautiful white cow in order to save her from Hera’s rage. Divine cows are also present in other mythologies. The primordial cow of Norse mythology, Audumla, played an important role in the birth of the entire world of men, gods, and giants. By licking the melted ice from the stones, she gave life to Buri, the grandfather of the Norse gods.
